Good bye 2016.

I will RISE from your ashes!

Not just because I’m fierce.
Not just because I’m tenacious.
Not just because I’m devoted.

But because I faced you.

I’m saying good bye with certainty that I am finished because I did the work.

I DID the f*^^ing work!!!

I am not running.
I am not resisting.
I am not rejecting.

I am not kidding myself that the change of date will save me.

I am simply complete.

I got what you showed me.
The terror. The shadow.
The meanness. The dark.

I got it.

In the contrast, greater desire was birthed.
In the contrast, my values were fortified.
In the contrast, my tolerations became intolerable.

I am stronger.
I am kinder.
I am clearer.

I know my value.
I know my worth.
I know my power.

Thank you for being the foundation from which I will rebuild. A truer me. A freer me. A humbler me.

AND SO IT IS!!!!
